    Post Using a path with a variable filename

    I have a folder that gets updated with excel sheets a few times a week. The files are in the format that follows:

    \\snj1afsfs16\investmentm$\Daily_Transaction_Files\AXA Transactions Summary mm dd yyyy.xls

    I would like to tell my macro to open the file that matches with a function giving today's date "=Workday(Today(),-1)" that I inserted in excel in cell B12 let's say. If the macro can't find the file for that date (which happens), then I'd like a Messagebox to pop up stating that it couldn't find any transactions for today's date. How would I do so?

    Please help! I just started with VBA and truly need some help!

    Cheers

    Try something like this...

    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.

    Make sure the date in B12 is formatted correctly.

    Please remember the following:

    1. Use [code] code tags [/code]. It keeps posts clean, easy-to-read, and maintains VBA formatting.
    Highlight the code in your post and press the # button in the toolbar.
